Giving my honest and most detailed opinion is the least I can do when a company provides me with a product to log.

Gotta hit the gym, be right back! (see what I did there )

Thoughts
Pretty good workout, especially since I hit Biceps yesterday and they were still feeling a bit tight this morning. *Really happy to be deadlifting again, although I had to stop short of my 8 rep target on my final set as I felt I was starting to use too much lower back.*

One thing I've noticed since starting Prometheus Rising is some very vivid dreams (a sign of good REM), and a solid 8-10 hours of sleep. *Definitely a plus when trying to gain some muscle back (rest is good...quality rest is even better).*

Everything is looking good! Many people supplementing with agmatine have noted better sleep, so that is great to hear from you!

Definitely agree, rest is essential. But many, myself included, can't get a very good night's sleep these days.

Took 6 capsules on an empty stomach, 45 minutes before a large breakfast

Boxing
5 sets of...
-Shadow boxing with 5 lb dbs
-Heavy bag work
-Jump Rope
3 minute rounds on each exercise (had the ring timer and everything)
1 minute rest after each cycle

Stability ball crunches, alternating between straight up, to the right, to the left etc.
3 sets of 100

Thoughts
Still feeling good here, boxing is a great full body workout, and really helps get some aggression out after a tough day/week. Plus, when was the last time you saw a fat boxer?

Hah good call...although the guy was kind of a beast, and pretty quick for such a big dude. That overhand right was vicious.

(these were done using the same machine tower, just raised and lowered the rope accordingly)

Thoughts
Did basically the same workout as last week, except added one more rep to the military press, and 5 more on bw dips! Have to admit that I was cheating a bit on the 40lb side lateral raises, I was just so pumped from the prior two exercises that I thought for sure I could handle them.

Legs
TRX Suspension Training Leg Circuit

Thoughts
Decided to do one more of this TRX Leg Circuits. I would post the entire workout, but it's hard to describe in detail...you can get a better idea of the types of movements involved on the website below. It's really all about building stability and balance, something I lost over the past few months following my knee injury. Felt great though, so I plan on getting back to a more weight bearing based leg workout next week.

Been feeling a lot like this guy lately...only at the gym instead of the office. I never noticed how many hotties there are at my gym until I started taking Prometheus Rising!

Thoughts
Been out of town for the past week so have a few updates backed up...luckily I was able to get each and every workout in on the road (good ones too!) Nothing new to report though, feel like a broken record but strength, motivation, and sex drive all remain strong. Think my beard is coming in a bit thicker and darker as well. Good stuff!

Some great progress in here man. Have the stomach issues subsided completely?

Yes stomach issues started to taper off in the second week, and are now completely gone.
